Achievement of the best design for unequally spaced grounding grids
The configuration of grounding grids which are used to earth electrical substations could be equally or unequally spaced. Unequally spaced grids were introduced to improve the requirements of the grids such as grounding grid resistance (Rg), ground potential rise (GPR), maximum touch voltage (Et) an...

| description | The configuration of grounding grids which are used to earth electrical substations could be equally or unequally spaced. Unequally spaced grids were introduced to improve the requirements of the grids such as grounding grid resistance (Rg), ground potential rise (GPR), maximum touch voltage (Et) and maximum step voltage (Es) values.
Also, unequal spacing can reduce the cost of the grids and enhance the level of safety for people and equipments. In this paper two different approaches were used to determine the best possible configuration of grounding grid. These approaches based on sequential multiplicative and sequential power techniques. |
